Hellobee Boards

I don't know if this will help, but here's some of the things we're doing (E isn't potty-trained, although he's in underwear a lot during the day now, so take it with a grain of salt).

Elmo's Potty Time video. He LOVES Elmo!

Thomas the Train Big Boy Underwear. He also LOVES Thomas right, so he's really excited to wear them. We make a big deal about how they are big boy underwear and he's a big boy now and big boys don't wear diapers, they wear cool Thomas underwear. We told him if he doesn't at least try to pee and poop on the potty that he'll have to stay in diapers and not wear big boy underwear.

We made up a really silly potty song (seriously silly: Sitting on the potty, peeing in the potty, pooping in the potty LIKE A BIG BOY!) We sit with him and sing it enthusiastically whenever he's sitting on it.

Small toys (in our case small wooden train cars) or a favorite book while he's sitting. They distract him enough to relax.

When he does go we make a huge deal out of it. Singing, cheering, dancing, giving him a bowl of raspberries (his favorite), and letting him flush (he only gets to do that if he's peed or pooped).

My MIL swears by putting cheerios in the toilet and using them as target practice, but we haven't tried that yet.

We're kind of taking the slow path, I think, but over the course of a few weekends he's starting to wear the underwear almost all day and telling us when he needs to go (and I ask him like every 5 minutes, lol!)
